Exploring the world looking for nice fibers,
sometimes I use them but mostly I stash them

Lars Wallin Couture

Lars Wallin is together with Pär Engsheden the most famous couturiers of Sweden. Per made the Crown Princess´s weddinggown and Lars have dressed a lot of swedish celebrities as well as margarine ( I didn´t know that but apparently you can eat your sandwiches in style using "Flora")
Last year where was a big retrospective exibition in Stockholm with his work and some of that are now touring Sweden and is until november 4 in Kristianstad at the museum with free entrance!!!Then it will move to Västerås ( my ex hometown that´s rather close to Stockholm )
There where a lot of dresses as well as shoes, jewelry and margarine boxes...
and there was a room showing some toiles and a couple of garments they led up to. And you can send your letters in style using a stamp with one of his dresses on.
The clothes where mostly displayed behind a net and sometimes I got a better shot at the net

These are costumes for Alcazar singing "Not a sinner nor a saint" click here for a link to the video
This is one of my favourites, like the double bodice of this

and this coat is in Silk organza, There was one coat in this style too but short made in see-through plastic with big swarowski buttons, really cool idea for a raincoat
